AGE Concern Wirral has embarked on the next stage of its hard-hitting poster campaign.
As part of its PEACE campaign - Preventing Elder Abuse and Changing Experiences - which was launched in June, the charity has this week released the second poster.
It depicts victim “Mary” whose story deals with psychological abuse - one of the most difficult forms of abuse to identify.
It is the second poster from a series of five which highlight the five main forms of elder abuse.
Campaign manager Shirley Tyler said: “Psychological abuse can manifest itself in many ways, such as shouting or swearing at someone, bullying or humiliating them, ignoring them or making them feel frightened or afraid.”
Age Concern Wirral has prepared a leaflet which outlines elder abuse and gives contact numbers for advice.
Anyone wanting a copy can pick one up from their local Age Concern office or phone Shirley at the Market Street headquarters in Birkenhead on 666 2220.
Shirley is also holding a series of talks over the coming months at various venues in Wirral. Contact her for more details.
